Liam’s POV:
Paru, Olivia, and Caleb went to the park, and Dante was with them. I trusted him. Still, I dialed his number, just to check in.
"How are they doing?" I asked.
"Good, buddy," he replied, the sound of Caleb's giggles faintly in the background. "They’re just playing. All smiles."
"I need to talk to you about something important," I said, pacing across my office.
"No worries. We’ll be back in an hour. Let’s—"
Suddenly, there was a loud commotion. The line crackled. I heard shouting. A woman’s voice—Olivia? A muffled scream. Then silence.
"Dante?" I barked, trying to keep my voice calm, but my heart was already pounding.
The call cut.
I tried to call back immediately, but it didn’t connect. My fingers were already dialing again.
Something was wrong.
Very wrong.
